As a keen podcaster myself, I have put together a montage of my more recent interviews with podcasters. Big thanks to the hosts of #OzPod2016 for the great conference in Sydney on the 30th September.

Featured Interviews:

Tripod – Since their earliest shows Tripod have made a consistent habit of juggling comedy, music and narrative in endless exhilarating combinations, consistently evading neat definitions whilst always striving to stay worthy of their fans’ time. I spoke to the trio during their Australian tour earlier this year – Scod (Scott Edgar), Yon (Simon Hall) and Gatesy (Steven Gates) -their podcast features atThe Perfectly Good Podcast.

Propelled by a massive fandom community online, Welcome to Night Valeexploded overnight, launching to the top of the iTunes charts in 2013. It’s about a community radio station for a friendly desert town, where conspiracy theories and the paranormal are real – including ghosts, aliens and angels… and the woman with no face who lives in your house. Creators Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor have kept Night Vale independent, expanding to a touring live show and spinoff novel. I spoke to Joseph Fink about the origins of the show and more.

The Dollop is a US history podcast with comedian hosts Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds. Each week they tell a weird and disturbing story about people and times from the American past. I spoke to them at the end of their Australian tour earlier this year.
